[Everything doTERRA] Re: Interstitial Cystitis

I went from never hearing of IC to now knowing personally 3 people who have it. I suspect that diet and/or candida are the root cause of this evil ailment, which is why I specifically sought out Dr. Hill at convention so I could ask him about it. I had about 20 seconds with Dr. HIll & in my rush to ask about how to treat it, I failed to ask if it was okay for someone with IC to ingest the citrus oils -- I've searched this group unsuccessfully for an answer to that question and am kicking myself for not having asked the question of Dr. Hill!  If anyone with a medical background (or personally has IC) knows for certain that IC sufferers can or can not ingest citrus oils, please post!

Dr. Hill's response was to apply Roman Chamomile & Bergamot topically [I presume on the abdomen] & cover with a warm compress. He did not specifically recommend LLV, but if I'd asked, he'd probably have recommended because they are fabulous. According to the Modern Essentials book, Bergamot is in the citrus family, which I find interesting considering my sentence above about IC sufferers & citrus oils.

While I was standing in line waiting to ask Dr. Hill about IC, I chatted with a chiropractor who said her son-in-law suffers from IC. My notes from that conversation are cryptic, but they say: organic coconut oil & doTerra essential oils, long-term use of a probiotic [PB Assist], candida diet, NO SUGAR. 

If you search the group for this topic, you'll find a few more recommendations/suggestions.

Please document your experience with IC on this group or this post so others can learn from your experience!

Good luck,

pat

Hello everyone,

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with Interstitial Cystitis?  It feel very much like a UTI but the symptoms won't go away and there isn't a cure...only relief by managing the symptoms. I am hoping for some advice on what oils to blend and how best to take them for some relief.  

Thank you so much, I appreciate any help!!
